- throwway120385 2y agoAOSP is an entire operating system with a GUI layered on top of it. Qt is a relatively straightforward tool for building embedded and desktop GUIs that happens to also have some cross-platform library support built in to ease the construction of these GUI applications. It's like asking whether fish can breathe benzene when they are out of water.
- joezydeco 2y agoTo be fair, Qt also needs a POSIX API running underneath it just like AOSP does. So you're still on Linux for embedded devices. I've tried building an embedded product with AOSP that isn't a phone or web browser. It was a massive pain in the ass. I hate the JNI.
